How to find the right questions
Do not invent them: listen to yourself working. For one week, note down every question a patient asks you on the phone or in consultation. That is your FAQ.
The most common questions for independent health professionals in Switzerland:
- Is my care covered by basic insurance?
- Do I need a prescription from my doctor?
- Which areas do you travel to?
- How long does a session last?
- What happens if I need to cancel?
- Do you work at weekends?
- How does the first visit work?
- What are your rates?
Writing a good question
Phrase it the way your patient would, in the first person.
- ✅
Is my care covered? - ❌
Terms of coverage under basic health insurance

Put the most frequent ones first: that is where the eye lands.
